Takahashi Posted December 2, 2022 Report Share Posted December 2, 2022 you may, its with Churchill. I used to be with a specialist Porsche insurer, and that went t*ts up when i needed to claim against a non fault accident. Been with Churchill since, for all our cars, and theyve been great, even in an accident for the wifes car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patt Posted December 2, 2022 Report Share Posted December 2, 2022 Shame their sister company, Direct Line are so far from that. It's taken me over a year for a non-fault, where they took 6 years off my NCB, downgraded my guaranteed hire car, then didn't send me one for a week, and the laws of physics would have had to be broken for it to have even been a 50/50 claim! Although with all the "sorry" cheques, I think last year's insurance will NET me at £120 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worked perfectly on my 987👍 I retrofitted the OEM control panel under the climate control, you have to build a voltage divider to make the switch light up but now works as the factory sports exhaust. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camels Posted December 4, 2022 Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 (edited) Swapped the battery out today - the old one has been rather temperamental for a little while; it pre-dates my ownership of the car3 years ago, though, so not sure now old it even is. The last straw was last week when I drove 30 mins to work with a supposedly fully-charged battery (thanks to CTEK), only to find it flat when I came to leave work at the end of the day. Thankfully I had a jumpstart powerpack with me just in case... Anyway the Bosch has now made way for a Yuasa HSB110 and all seems to be fine again, no issues with alarm or PSM etc. While I was at it also removed all the plastic trim bits around in and around the frunk to clean out the gunge around underneath them so looking nicer there now - only thing is now I need to replace all the little velcro sticky pads which have now all (rather than just a couple previously) come off the long side bits - one job for another day I think!

I'm trying to choose between getting a non-valved catback (Borla/Cargraphic) vs a valved one for my 987.2. Coming from a Mustang with Borla exhaust im not sure whether I would actually close the valves much. getting used to it, pretty much left it open all the time, not really louder at low revs and sounds better above 4k. If i was starting again tbh i would go carnewal again like i had on my last one, similar loudness, less drone, slightly higher pitched.

Menoporsche Posted December 8, 2022 Report Share Posted December 8, 2022 Avoided converting it into a boat. Came home from the gym last night, the rain got worse and worse, as I turned into my village I had the wipers on fast and still struggled to see ahead. The roads were running. Came round one corner and the road was maybe 3in deep, maybe more or less but I wasn’t stopping to find out. Rain backed off and I got the car in the garage then watched from the comfort of my porch as the Atlantic Ocean flew past. Never seen rain that strong in 20+ years here.

Menoporsche Posted December 8, 2022 Report Share Posted December 8, 2022 I do live on a hill. Grew up with a stream at the end of our 180ft garden which would flood badly every couple of years, so now very conscious of water when buying a house!

jasonmo Posted December 9, 2022 Report Share Posted December 9, 2022 made it to work and home again - in the cold -1 ish... on Uniroyal Rainsports - that the car came on. Hard to find the vocabulary to describe how shockingly shyatee they are - can't tell if i'm on sheet ice or cold tarmac, zero feedback. slides from both ends - horrible - and they're practically new... 😬 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the normally good and grippy Dunlop Sport Maxx RT2s I have fitted are pretty poor at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
